After months and months of walking Sid past the site, L.A. Mill Coffee finally seems poised to open. Not that there's any signs, but after you hang the chandeliers, what are you waiting for? It looks promising, but can anything take the place of the Backdoor Cafe, even with a rococo mural?
Speaking of creeping swankiness, just across from L.A. Mill, a not-to-be named vintage furniture dealer persists in the heinous practice of using volumes of the Loeb Classical Library as decor items. There are stacks currently resting on a silly chair in the front window. It wouldn't be so offensive if it was the Greek series, but the Latin ...! I realize they're compact and an attractive red, but aren't there copies of Quotations of Chairman Mao sitting in warehouses somewhere?
